Exploring kk-circulant supersaturated designs via genetic algorithms

E(s2)E(s2)-optimal or near optimal, two level k-circulant supersaturated designs are explored by means of genetic algorithms. All known k  -circulant classes for k=2,…,6k=2,…,6 have been rebuilt and improved. The successful application of genetic algorithms is further illustrated by the construction of several k  -circulant supersaturated designs for k=7,8k=7,8.
